Foliot Furniture

What Foliot Furniture does

Foliot Furniture, operating under parent entity Holding Foliot Inc., is a privately held North American contract furniture manufacturer founded in 1989 and headquartered in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, with US operations centered in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures contract-grade furniture for high-occupancy commercial environments, serving institutional buyers across six vertical markets: student housing (colleges, universities, and purpose-built student housing developers), hospitality (hotels and resort chains), community living (supportive, affordable, and indigenous housing), staff housing, government, and maritime. Named customers include IHG Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International, Hilton, Choice Hotels, McMaster University, Carleton University, Cornell University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Florida, the University of Miami, and the University of Notre Dame.

The company operates a vertically integrated production model across three North American manufacturing facilities (Saint-Jérôme and Mirabel in Quebec, and Las Vegas in the United States), with an in-house laminate panel production facility at Mirabel supplying engineered wood panels made from 100 percent recycled or recovered wood fiber to the furniture plants. Manufacturing is CNC-controlled with barcode tracking assigned to every finished product, enabling a replaceable parts program in which customers can swap individual components rather than full units. Distribution is supported by a company-operated warehouse in New Jersey and a third-party logistics warehouse in North Carolina. The product portfolio spans bedrooms, living rooms, common areas and lounges, kitchenettes, vanities, guestrooms, lobbies, and soft seating, all backed by market-specific warranties of up to 25 years. Foliot reports over 1.25 million rooms delivered cumulatively across its history.

Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based, project-driven direct sales of furniture to institutional buyers, supplemented by specialized installation services delivered by dedicated in-house teams and a recurring revenue stream from the replaceable parts program. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed; the typical engagement involves direct consultation, custom design with 3D renderings, and phased installation, often under multi-year framework arrangements. Go-to-market relies on enterprise field sales, industry-association presence (notably ACUHO-I and the American Camp Association), and a Quick-Ship program for time-sensitive orders. The company is privately held, appears to be founder- and management-owned, and its only disclosed equity capital event is a 2010 investment of $5.5 million by Fonds de solidarité FTQ; no external private equity or venture capital backing is evidenced.
